Oh iguana you just reminded me!

Can someone tell me the name of the app for Christmas presents. I'm sure there is such a thing :-/!

I just started my Christmas present reminder list. Each year I open an email, write out everything I've bought for whom and for what (S's Easter and birthday presents go on it too) and save it to drafts. Then I can update it each time I buy more stuff. Because I did find the toy S has stated he wants from Santa at a super knock down price and I did buy it. So glad I have such an oddly determined child, it saves me a fortune.

He's definitely infected by the same Christmas bug that I have. I was watching Bridget Jones' Baby last night when he was asleep and the sounds never bothered him.............. Until the Christmas scene, 3 bars of Sleigh Ride and he sat upright in the bed and was dancing in his sleep when I lay him back down.

Haunted for taking down your Christmas decorations.

We moved house when we I was 11, the previous owner was the church organist and had allot of religious paraphernalia around the house. Anyway it was a 4 bed, the smallest bedroom was unused. When we moved in the dog was having a mental time with all the boxes and exploring. She came to the smallest bedroom and wouldn't cross the threshold, she had her hair up and barking into the room. Used to scare the crap out of me. My folks still have the same house and she never went into the room not matter what we did to try and get her in there.

Moral of the story, get a dog, they're awesome.

Well if it is a ghost then it can be only one of three kinds who would visit a mod from this forum. A ghost of Christmas past, Christmas present or Christmas Future.

Stuff being moved, three lightbulbs have blown in the last week, bathroom one blew twice in the last week. Cabinet doors have been slamming by themselves. Strange noises coming from other rooms.

All only started a couple of weeks ago but getting seriously frequent and more outlandish. Essentially I'm at the point in the horror movie where the audience should be thinking its time to move while one of the main characters is justifing it with electrical faults.

Which is what I'm blaming the bulbs and strange noises on.

It's definitely a ghost.

Ugh it's not just me having work problems. I'm caught between a rock and a hard place myself. Need to go away for work but need to be close to home at the same time. Any chance we could time travel back to December 1st ?

Hey Jude (I wasn't going for the Beatles reference) I had a similar problem but within Ireland, the firm I was it wanted me to relocate to Cork for 6 months, which I had no interest in moving for 6 weeks let alone 6months, I joined them with the agreement that I wasn't going to take any roles outside Dublin.

They completely went back on their agreement and I left and got a new job and it was the best thing I ever did. I hope things work out ok for you

Cheers loughc, I need to move fast and getting a job and signed up before I quit is a hard task. I also have three months notice with some strict clauses like no leave during your notice, I have two weeks off booked for my wedding in April so that would be in my notice period and Im not willing to work abroad for my notice period...ahhhhhhhhhhh

Time to get the priest round for tea and tell him to bring his holy water, LoughC :eek:

Over Christmas I had a sword dangling over my head.

I travel quite a bit in the region, 4 days here 4 days there maybe every three months. In my old job and country it was much more, my OH was left in a foreign country, no pals, weeks on end and rightly said enough was enough. So I moved country with her and to a small firm where travel was minimal.

Then the small form got bought by a massive firm. Due to the size and varied services of the new firm our domestic business is gone,either through increased fees or conflicts of interest (none of this was thought of when selling as the owners just seen $$$).

Soooo over Christmas I heard a rumour that due to being conflicted domestically we had chased and won a massive project in Saudi. 6-12 months full time (home every weekend but late at night on the last day and very very early on the first day, so day and a half weekend). There was no way that I or my OH are okay with that. So I said no way, the head guy said cool no worries as I had said that I wouldn't travel when I joined the small firm. Then completely went back on that agreement yesterday.

No I either go to Saudi and my OH moves back home or I get a new job with less money and the unknown. Gripe over

The weeks since Christmas seem never ending. I feel like it must be Thursday already.

Only one full week left in January though, then it's the spring!!

Did anyone else think it was a great Christmas for cards? I've felt for a long while that cards have been becoming very samey and kinda boring, but this year my parents got so many beautiful ones! (I don't get many myself yet) And there was such a variety too. Cute cartoonish ones, cool graphic ones, glittery ones (I unashamedly LOVE glittery cards, I'm a 32 year old child

), scenic ones and more, all much more interesting than in recent times. My mother's card display looked the best it has in years. Anyone else?
